Summer Waning Strawberry Moon
Kate’s out of surgery and in recovery. Dr. Heller said the procedure went well, “Perfect. Just what we like!” He’s an upbeat guy with a bald head, lots of confidence. Better than a melancholy doc filled with self doubt. I wouldn’t make much of a surgeon.
Fairview hospitals seem interchangeable with Abbott-Northwestern friendly, well-laid out, competent staff, procedures that make sense. Comforting.
A new University Children’s Hospital is under construction and it has a poster in the elevator: Bold, Inspiring. There are images of Minnesota and the Twin Cities in the tunnels leading from the Gold Parking Ramp into the main campus with East and West buildings. Surgery is on the third floor of the East Building.
Here’s a new wrinkle. Just when I thought parking validation was dead, the surgery lounge validates my parking. That’s not the new wrinkle. The new wrinkle is that I paid for validated parking. $6. Unvalidated it would have been $15. So, validation now gets me the rate I would have paid back when validation made parking free. Hmmm.
Anyhow, I’m gonna catch a nap since 5:00 am comes earlier in the ‘burbs.
